What subwoofer setup do you think will be better?

Do you think having 1 12" Alpine type R or having 2 12" infinity perfect 12?

free_refil will become famous soon enough

I have 1 Type-R 12" woofer with an Alpine MRD-M605 Amp and it rocks pretty good, it's in a sloted/vented enclosure though. I think it might rock a bit more in a sealed enclosure. The Infinity 12's look beefy though, too. Why would you only get 1 vs. 2 though? You can have the Alpine's for less than $100 pc. on eBay...

is it sealed or ported?
wat u lookin for? sq? spl? sql?

maximum spl = 1 type r 12 in a proper ported box with liek 800 watts going to it
maximum sq = 2 12" perfects sealed
maximum sql = 2 12" perfects sealed

those are all within reason, sure u can make two perfects louder if u put 2 12's ported, but that will result in minimal trunkspace etc..
